Manufactured from high-speed steel with a TiCN coating, this tap forms internal threads through material displacement rather than cutting, which produces stronger threads and eliminates chip management concerns. It is sized for 5\/16-24 UNF threads with a 2B class of fit and features a bottoming chamfer of 1.5 to 2 threads, allowing threading close to the bottom of a blind hole. Overall length is 2.719 inches with a 0.665-inch thread length and a shank diameter of 0.318 inches. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and maintenance technicians handling precision threading work install this tap in standard tapping equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for blind hole threading applications in aluminum, cast aluminum, low-carbon steel, and medium-carbon steel. The bottoming chamfer design makes it the correct choice when full-depth thread engagement is required near the base of a non-through hole. It carries the OSG HY-PRO NRT trade designation and is part of OSG Series 285. Right-hand thread direction applies. The TiCN coating reduces galling and extends tool life particularly in aluminum and steel applications common in automotive, general machining, and maintenance repair environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThread forming (chipless) design displaces material to form stronger threads and eliminates chip extraction in blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTiCN coating improves wear resistance and reduces friction during tapping in aluminum and steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBottoming chamfer (1.5 to 2 threads) allows threading to the full depth of blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction provides toughness and heat resistance for general shop use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/16-24 UNF 2B class of fit for standard unified fine-thread applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction compatible with standard tapping equipment and CNC machining centers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRated for use in aluminum, cast aluminum, low-carbon steel, and medium-carbon steel.

Use a tapping fluid or cutting oil appropriate for the workpiece material, particularly for steel applications. Ensure the tap is held square to the workpiece to prevent thread distortion or tool breakage. Power down or disengage the spindle before manually backing the tap out of a blind hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16-24 UNF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass of Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2B\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bottoming\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfered Threads\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 to 2 threads\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreads per Inch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 24\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.719 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.665 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTapping Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.126 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.318 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.238 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiCN\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum, Cast Aluminum, Low-Carbon Steel, Medium-Carbon Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Blind Hole Threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrade Name\u003c\/strong\u003e: HY-PRO NRT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 285\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.06 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: OSG\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2866408\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51748279583026,"sku":"2866408","price":62.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ec01f4bbd06e33892610ca18dc096847_0ef8cee2-2d11-4ead-bc90-6f52015953fd.jpg?v=1788891657","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-2866408-thread-forming-tap-5-16-24-unf-bottoming-ticn","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
